MultiTech MultiConnect Conduit gateway

MultiTech’s MultiConnect Conduit programmable gateway allows users to develop, deploy and expand IoT networks.

The product offers an open-development environment and a portfolio of certified cellular technologies for 2G, 3G, 4G-LTE and CDMA.  

Users have a broad choice of backhaul options to connect to the internet. Two card slots in the gateway accept MultiConnect mCard modules, allowing for traditional wired technologies such as ethernet and serial cable as well as wireless options such as Semtech’s LoRa long-range, low-power technology. A Conduit gateway with a LoRa mCard interface can support duplex communication with thousands of intelligent end points (MultiConnect mDot nodes). Through the gateway, the user can monitor or control sensors and appliances, update firmware and confirm that the asset is fully operational.   

The product supports both IBM’s Node-RED graphical, drag-and-drop development environment and Linux’s open-development environment. Other features include a 400 MHz ARM 9 processor core; 128 Mb of RAM; 256 Mb of flash memory; micro SD memory card slot; and optional 3G and LTE cellular connectivity.

A device management platform, MultiTech DeviceHQ, allows users to deploy and scale pre-developed applications onto their Conduit gateway and connect numerous devices, as well as manage router configurations and device health. The gateway is fully certified and carrier approved globally.
